Sirach 19:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ And there is one that uttereth an exact word telling the truth. There is one that humbleth himself wickedly, and his interior is full of deceit:

²⁴ And there is one that submitteth himself exceedingly with a great lowliness: and there is one that casteth down his countenance, and maketh as if he did not see that which is unknown:

²⁵ And if he be hindered from sinning for want of power, if he shall find opportunity to do evil, he will do it.
